if art isnt treating you right

- don’t erase the stuff you’ve already drawn, just make the layer invisible. if you’re anything like me then deleting in process sketches has a very light subconscious negative effect on how the drawing is turning out.

- don’t draw your sketches on white, especially if your brush is black. white is hard to draw on. change it to grey. trust me on this.

- if a sketch is almost there but not quite try mirroring it horizontally. the issues will be way easier to spot.

-if inking isnt your thing but you want outlines just paint your color over the sketch lines, then do the ink lines last.

- if you have lots of ideas but no patience with details like myself take to tiny tiny thumbnails. like im talking barely bigger than your thumb. it forces you to look at the whole picture and not just the details.

- if tiny doesnt work/you like detailing go opposite. draw REALLY huge and work your way through.

All of this is AMAZING advice and trust me, I know it works because I do this stuff. I sometimes make canvases which are even bigger than 1700x1700 pixels and sketch something huge, then I end up scaling it down to colour and ink.

And the “draw on grey” might seem stupid, but it really is better. Just remember to constantly change the background colour to different things so you can see the spots where lines don’t match up or you missed a spot in colouring.

Also, CHANGE YOUR BRUSH STABILIZATION. If you can’t get a smooth line, turn it up. If your program is trying to turn your rounded square into a circle, turn it down.
